Three Amateurs from Scotland came to the Isle of Man to play radio; after a few hours working pileups they made around 2500 contacts around the World. The weather was poor, one operator maintained a regular coffee supply and they had a great time at this brilliant location.

Thanks go to James MD0MDI for the map (still about 200 contacts missing from the map) and thanks to the lads from Scotland for such a great effort promoting Amateur Radio.

Following the announcement this morning of further earthquakes in Nepal
we have activated 14205 kHz and our primary frequency for Emergency
traffic to and from Nepal. 14215 has been activated also as a secondary
frequency, stations wishing to assist should call net control on 215 not
205 thanks.

If you are new to Amateur Radio and would like to know more about the first licence (Foundation) you need to pass before transmitting on the air; have a look atFoundation Licence
where you can see some very clear power point slides about the topics you need to learn.
